American Tanks in WWII

It is interesting how much focus the M4 Sherman gets among the military community in the US. Armchair Generals and the like act as if the eastern front never happened sometimes. I think it is astounding, especially when 9 out of 10 Whermacht killed during the war were killed by Red Army Soldiers.

So while I do think American Tanks were reliable and capable, they were nothing compared to what the Germans or Russians were playing around with at the time.

America in World War II

Happy Birthday to me. Given that today is my birthday, and I am American, I thought I would post my article about American Infantry Weapons in WWII. This holds a special place for me, as I spent 6 years in the Army, and I can directly see an evolution of our infantry tactics from World War II, in the types of weapons we use.

Its very interesting.
